Odd problem here. The battery died on the key to my 2004 996 Cab. I replaced it, and everything functioned as exepected - for about 4 days. Then the key went dead again. I replaced it, figuring it was a bad battery - nope - it's more than just the battery. A new battery seems to last about 4 days or less - then the key is dead again. Anyone had a similar experience? if so - any solution? Thanks in Advance - Rob

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Generation: 20261027T201111Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources
If it is not the battery then it has to be the actual key itself that is acting up. Something in the key holder is shorting or partly burnt out and flattening the battery. No other explanation.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
